Excavation and Reinvention: Marjan Teeuwen

These are some images taken from Marjan Teeuwen's building-wide interventions, excavations, and installations... Read more about her and her work here and here. And, a short feature following the artist here.

I feel the same excitement, joy, and heart expansion as when I look at Gordon Matta-Clark's work. When solid things melt into the air, appearances shift, and materials take on new life.

First search

While I wasn't looking, our resident 2-year old performed his first Google search. I couldn't resist do a screen grab. Sad and funny and oddly poetic. Luckily, he is more interested in birds and dirt than our screens...

Canopy of Trees

One day, I too will grow such a beautiful sight...

Believers! Kickstarter!

Busy filming, but the world is turning...

While buried in the production of RIDE, some amazing things are being done (dare I say, I feel like they ARE in my name this time!): Occupy Wall Street.
Here is a little portrait of what is happening in the village that has sprung up.
Makes me miss New York so much.

Armed to the teeth we are

Every year, it is estimated that 8 million new small firearms or guns, and 16 billion rounds of ammunition are manufactured. This amounts to enough bullets for every person on our planet to be shot not just once, but twice.
